Here is a simple recipe for rehydration salts to use as treatment for
dehydration from heat exposure or diarrhea:
8 tsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 liter of drinkable water
1 tsp. is about equal to one level bottle cap. If honey is available,
it can be used in the place of the sugar. Do not
use honey for children under 3 yrs. old.
If oranges or orange juice is available, mix the honey or sugar in
1 cup of orange juice. Mix the salt into a separate cup of water. Add 1
tsp. of baking soda to the salt water. Alternate sips of the orange juice
and the salt water. Then, follow this down with another 2 cups of water.
These drinks should not be kept overnight
